Clark has battled weight-management issues and lost his starting spot at 125 pounds for a month. Thomas Gilman struggled in his last couple of bouts, however, opening the door for Clark’s return.

Clark won four state championships at Southeast Polk before redshirting last season. He and Gilman are considered two of the top 125-pounders in the nation, and coach Tom Brands is giving both wrestlers chances to show what they can do.
